Even established automakers will feel hard-pressed in competing with today’s leading maker of electric cars, Tesla Motors. Not McLaren Automotive though. The British sport car maker has plucked up the courage to go head-to-head with Tesla with its very own (and first ever) pure electric ride, well, albeit in a very much smaller proportion and also, it is not actually competing with Tesla Motors’ regular road-going electric rides; instead it is probably more like competing with Tesla Model S for Kids, you know, that cool tiny ride made by Radio Flyer. Yes. You heard that right. McLaren first pure electric car is also the most compact McLaren ever, and it is for kids, or to be precise, for juniors who are six years of age or younger. And oh, it is a McLaren P1 too. Continue reading The Most Compact McLaren Yet Is Pure Electric And Its For Kids→

Entry-level is hardly the word that apply to supercar, but here it is the McLaren “baby” supercar, the 570S Coupe, which happens to be the British luxury sports car maker’s entry-level model. The 570S falls under the firm’s Sports Series, which joins the Super Series and Ultimate Series “to complete the three-tier McLaren range.” Taking on a classic sports car configuration, the 570S boasts a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout and is built around a unique carbon fiber MonoCell II chassis. At its heart is a 3.8L V8 twin turbo engine which, as the model name indicates, puts out 570PS or 562 hp. Peak torque comes in at 443 lb-ft (600 Nm), which can be experienced between 5,000-6,500 rpm range. The spritely engine is mated to a seven-speed SSG gearbox, which put the power to good use at the rear wheels, while standard-fit carbon ceramic brakes peeking through newly designed range of forged alloy wheels, provides the stopping power.

On June 18, 1995 at the 63rd Grand Prix of Endurance aka 24 Hours of Le Mans held at Circuit de la Sarthe, five McLaren F1 GTRs raced crossed the chequered flag, finishing 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 13th. It was an achievement which McLaren remembered fondly till this day. Twenty years on, McLaren is marking that glorious feat with fifty special editions 650S, to be available globally. What? Not a reboot of the F1 GTR? Sadly no. For fans, 650S Le Mans will have to do if you want a piece of the history. As if not having at least a replica of the F1 GTR isn’t bad enough, these limited edition 650S will not see any power or torque bump. What a bummer, is it not?

McLaren said the ‘S’ in its newly announced McLaren 650S stands for ‘Sport’, which is kind of redundant to a McLaren especially when this new sexy beast coming from the British motorsport specialist has 650PS (641 hp) under the hood. 640 ponies. that is a lot of power by any car standard, so sport or not, this is going to be one heck of a speed demon. based on the 12C, the 650S will join as an additional model alongside the 12C and the sold-out McLaren P1, and will be available as a coupe, as well as a hardtop convertible. performance figures coming from the retuned M838T twin turbo V8 engine-equipped exotic supercar are not available, but according to the Woking folks, these figures “will be confirmed ahead of the Geneva Show.” as a head up, the folks at McLaren said that it will be faster than then 12C which, for your information, will still continue to be sold. so, no. the 650S is not a replacement for the 12C.
